    <p>The Announcements tool can deliver messages to the entire class, to groups, or to specific sections within the class. Participants will see the Announcement message displayed in the Announcements area of their Home area, as well as within the course itself. Announcement messages can be set to show to participants immediately, or to show to participants during specific dates. Email notifications can be sent to alert participants of the Announcement message. </p>
